I’ve been going through my TBR pile, matching books to bingo squares. This last row was challenging, but if I get through these, I’ll have knocked a few old-timers off the TBR shelf. These are my tentative plans so far, totally subject to change without notice.
ROW 5
This one’s been on my shelf for ages, because I’m missing the first in the series. But it’s time to get over it and just read it. The summary indicates our MC is parked at her fiancee’s country estate.
This is another of those books that have made it on the lists of Halloween Bingo past, but never got read. I don’t know why, only that each time something else that fits has grabbed my attention.
I can always count on this anthology for the Locked Room square; there are so many stories in it, it’ll take me forever to read them all. But I need to remember to look up which ones I read last year, so as not to duplicate myself.
Not sure about this one; Revenge of the Cootie Girls would be a re-read of a mystery that takes place on Halloween, but I also have Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett; another re-read that fits because my edition has a pumpkin on the cover. Decisions, decisions.
I only have this one Anthony Berkley because I’m not sure I’d really like his writing, based on what I’ve read about him in other books. But this story sounds like a lot of fun, so it’s time to crack it open.
So many books in this batch where I‘ll be interested in how they‘re going to work for you — particularly those by Farjeon and Berkeley. And I finally need to get around to that Locked Room anthology …
I only read a handful of stories from the anthology last year, but I remember being impressed with what I read. I hope my luck continues to hold this year.
I‘m sure it will!
‘Revenge Of The Cootie Girls’ – well that was a title that made me smile.
Yep – it’s what drew me to this series years ago. 😀
